Welcome to Lucky Valley where nothing is quite what it seems.

Lily Goode wasn't aware she had an Aunt Polly, let alone an inheritance coming to her in the form of a huge Victorian house in Lucky Valley, Colorado. Life might finally be coming together for her. That is if you don't count the endless home repairs, dealing with eccentric Aunt Polly who claims they're both witches, and a handsome home inspector who seems to have it out for her, then, sure, life is grand. Oh and not to mention the strange hallucinations and garden gnomes who are far more than lawn ornaments.

If mysterious construction accidents don't do her in, then the rebellious gnomes just might. With the help of Aunt Polly, it's up to Lily to discover who's sabotaging her new home and trying to drive the Goodes out of Lucky Valley once and for all.

From NY Times & USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow, a Cozy Mystery Paranormal Romantic Comedy.

Will the Goode siblings ever find a place to call home?

Better Haunts and Garden Gnomes by Michelle M. Pillow is everything that I hoped for and more. Mrs. Pillow is able to create wonderful characters and a world that you just want to hop right in and join them. Now I know why my mom was laughing every time she was reading a book that had Aunt Polly in it. I loved all the characters and I was even more shocked at who was doing that one thing to Lily and Dante Goode. There were also some bad things about the book but I won’t talk about them just quite yet. There are also somethings that I can’t wait to find out in the next book.

What I liked about the book:

• Aunt Polly is a fabulous character. I just love her and I want her and her crazy gnomery in my backyard. Well, as long as they don’t try to trip me.
• I had no clue who did it. Such an awesome book.
• Lily, Dante, and Jessamine Crawford Goode, I felt bad for all three of those characters. I hope that this will be a good fresh start for them.
• I loved Nolan Dawson because he was such a good character and definitely proved himself worthy at the end in my opinion. Also, doesn’t help that they make a cute couple.

What I disliked about the book:

I didn’t like about this book is that there were some spelling errors and little things like that but it didn’t take me out of the book so all is forgiven. I would have liked more of Aunt Polly in the book. I also didn’t like that everyone just thought the Goode siblings were as bad as their mom and didn’t give them a chance. Then again if they didn’t then there wouldn’t be a book. So, good work Ms. Pillow.

What I am curious about:

Will the two Goode siblings be able to get their sister there? Will everything be okay with their new house guest? Can Lily and Nolan make it work? Will the town give them a chance? Guess I will just have to wait and see until the next book!

Five Stars

Better Haunts and Garden Gnomes by Michelle M. Pillow was so funny and awesome that I want to read the next book already. I was so sucked in that I had a hard time letting go to eat or do anything. I loved the Goode siblings and of course Aunt Polly. This book is definitely a five-star read and I recommend to anyone that loves paranormal cozy mysteries with romance.

Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by
